mobile-install fails with dependencies from rules_jvm_external

[fhilgers]

When trying to use mobile-install on the example/basicapp I am getting the following stacktrace after launching the application: stacktrace.txt

I am using rules_jvm_external with an overridden rules_android to the version from rules_android git repository.

This is a patch to apply to the example:
